Hi OP, my husbands grandma gave me towels for my kitchen tea. I love her dearly but that were butt ugly towels. We're meant to be bath towels but were really the size of large tea towels but were the worst colour.

I ended up having a flood and I won't lie we used grandmas towels to barricade. They ended up going mouldy (not sure how they went straight in the wash) so we ended up using them as rags.

Purpose of my story is I love my dh's grandma just not her taste in towels. I meant no disrespect or didn't love her less. Don't lose a friendship over it. If anything she could have been more discreet but maybe overlooked it by accident.
